African influenced style steps up big in 2011

In the spring of 2009, we saw an abundance of African influenced designs walk down the runway in New York, including hairdos for Christian Dior. This year, Gwen Stefani introduces her Spring 2011 L.A.M.B. collection that is steeped in unique, unabashed African style. Stefani makes it hard to look away, and we, for one, don't want to.

As for most things in life, to keep something alive and bursting with positive energy, change, adaptation and creativity must be an integral part of the process. Thus, the leading minds behind the development of new DRC ApeParel lines and designs have big plans for 2011!
